What`s your favorite coating removal towel?

@sizzel I use autocraft 25 pack for coating removal they are thin short fiber .40 a towel when there on sale they are fantastic towels for price and better than Kirkland and low lint they go on sale 2-3 times a year but sell out fast here is picture they are from auto store.

@moderater’s if the pic violates forum policy I will take it down.TY

I wish The King of Coatings, BudgetPlan1, would comment on his choice of coating applicators and wipe-off microfiber clothes. I asked this very question in the classic, never-ending,life-of-its-own, epic tome, thread "I think I`m done messing around with coatings: final thoughts", but I could not find it.

:lol: I think some here have far surpassed my meddling with ceramics but nonetheless:

Any more, for applicators I use the Autofiber 3x5 Thin [Saver Applicator Terry] Microfiber Coating Applicator Sponge with Plastic Barrier. They really do seem to stretch out the coating and use less than I did w/ micro suedes and blocks.

Occasionally I`ll run across a coating that works better with a different set of towels, but I`m always starting with a Rag Company Eagle Edgeless 300gsm for initial leveling, followed by a Rag Company Eagle Edgeless 350gsm for the final cleanup. I go though more of the 300`s on a given vehicle as they remove the bulk of the residue; maybe 6-8 on an average vehicle and half as many 350`s it seems so 3 or 4 of those. Really sticky stuff like Kami ISM 2.0 might be 2 wipes w/ separate 300`s followed by a final wipe with a 350; sometimes the first wipe on stuff like that may be with a damp 300, followed by a dry 300, followed by a 350.

I`ve got so many non-paint towels at this point I just toss the coating towels in the garbage afterwards although sometimes tossing away the lavender 350`s is depressing cuz they`re such nice towels that I use for most other paint-things I do.

Edit: I tried some of the Pearl towels but didn`t much like `em.
 
I don`t toss them immediately. I get a few uses out of them. (I buy in bulk, have 200 or so on hand now)

2 dozen + would be for the initial wipe and final wipe.


Appreciate everyone`s input!

The Rag Company Pearl Edgeless (or similar design) for initial mopup - removes at least 10% more of the film with one pass than any other towel I`ve used, then buff to perfection using higher pile towel.

I am a bit of a towel snob, so anything that isn`t edgeless and korean doesn`t cut it for me.

Pearls are Chinese too. The chinese towels can be just as good if not better than some korean ones.... depends on tooling...

I have some Korean towels from a small company in canada - detail popo. I don`t like them at all. Carpro 2 face is one of my favorites though which is also korean..i assume. :)

The new coating specific removal towel looks decent - detail popo. I haven`t tried my single towel yet but the 350 and 500 towels i don`t really like. All from Korean. Thankfully most of the towels from detail popo where apart of a promotion so i got them for "free", after spending a nice chunk of change. :D
